Easy Brown Sugar ChickenIngredients

1 package boneless, skinless chicken

½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup dry mustard

1 teaspoon ground pepper

Chives for garnish (optional)

DirectionsMix the brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper in a zip lock bag and shake them well. Place the chicken pieces in the bag and shake that well too, so that the chicken gets coated well with the ingredients. Keep it aside for marination for about 15 minutes. Then grill the chicken pieces directly over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, turning them occasionally. Once the chicken is removed from the heat, the juices start to ooze out, and you have to serve it hot. Garnish it with a few chives and lemon if you want to, or simply eat it the way it's cooked.

Brown Sugar Barbecue ChickenIngredients

2 packages (about 3 lbs each) chicken split breasts, drums and thighs

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

3 tablespoons barbecue seasoning

1½ tablespoons salt

6 tablespoons basting oil

DirectionsIn a mixing bowl, mix the barbecue seasoning, brown sugar, salt and the basting oil together till it blends in well. Add the chicken and then toss it together so that the chicken gets coated uniformly with the brown sugar mixture. Marinate this chicken by covering the bowl and refrigerating it for 6 to 8 hours. In the mean time, preheat the oven to about 275 degrees and after the 6 hours of marination, transfer the chicken to the baking sheet.

Bake it for 2 hours, then remove it from the oven and set aside. Carefully drain the fat from the baking dish and wipe it clean, then again transfer the chicken back into the baking sheet. Now broil the chicken for 5 to 10 minutes about 6 inches from the heat until the skin is brown in color and crisp. Make sure it doesn't burn. Serve the chicken pieces in a serving dish along with either a dip or simply with lemon slices.

Brown Sugar Garlic ChickenIngredients

1 broiler chicken cut up

1 cup packed brown sugar

¾ cup white vinegar

2 to 3 tablespoons minced garlic

¼ cup lemon-lime soda

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon pepper

DirectionsCombine the brown sugar, vinegar, soda, garlic, soy sauce and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and then add the chicken. Let the chicken get well coated with the mixture, and then add half of this to a plastic bag and leave the rest in the bowl. Seal the bag and refrigerate it for 2 to 4 hours and let the remaining chicken get marinated in the meanwhile. Now, drain the marinade from the chicken in the bowl and discard it off, then transfer the chicken to a skillet. Add the refrigerated marinade to this chicken, and heat the entire skillet till it starts to boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 45 minutes by covering the skillet with a lid. After the chicken juices appear clear and the chicken looks cooked, remove from the heat and serve it hot.
